| She ran further in toward Staten Island on her
first reach and lost good deal OF ground. AT the
start tho COronets lead was between quarter and
half mile. Below Fort rompkins she had plainly
doubled it. All along the ramparts OF the fort
crowd of spectators had gathered shelterlng them
selves against the wi ind under the high bluffs On
the Bay Ridge side there were fewer people. There
was sound at times Of distant cheering and hand
kerchiefs and hats were kept constantly waving.
The Dauntless returned these courteses by hring
two guns The Coronet fred only one The Luck
eubach caught the Dauntess just beyond the forts,
cheered her and was cheered in turn. The course
now lay along the Coney Island beaches, out far
enough. however. toward Sandy Hook to pass to
the west of the Romer Shoals light From the Mar

Dagntless was a full mile behind r. then,
was almost becalmed for three or tour minutes
making the turn at the light But she got the fresh
wind again, and putting out large maln-staysail
ran away further than ever from her rival.
The Dauntless held the wind steadily all the way
down to and around the light. She turned IL about
eight minutes later than the CorOnet From that out
both boats took long reach across to Long Island
bringing up beyond Far Rockaway. Sandy Hook
and the Scotland Lightship were left far to the
south and even the Sandy Hook LIghtship faded
to "A mast with n bail near the top of 1t. On
this reach the sailing qualities OF the two
schooncrs came out plainly The Dauntless
held to her course firmly, but plunged in the waves
al times, her bow burvng itself most and turning
of on each side a broad streak OF foam Her
wa kc was broader, too and froiher than the Coro-
nets. The newer schooner breasted the waves
easily and left them almost without nipple. Her
dig main sail was beilIcd out to its last stick.

the Others and did not draw with any success

up with the CorOue, tors few minutes. The crew
and passengers were full of enthusiasm. and
cheered and shouted as long as they c0uld be heard

The Dauntlcss had lost mile on the run ont ana n
half-mc on the start. And in the stlif breeze
there seemed 10 be no chance OF making up
either.
The Meteo. the Luckenbach and two or three
other tugs stopped the chase at $50 somewhere
OF ROckawaY or Far Rockaway. The two ocean
racers were then heading in the same up the
Long Island coast, the CorOnct almost two miles
ahead of the DauntesS. The wind was stronger than
ever blowing over thirty miles an hour. All on
board the returning tug waved their mats ana

best at screaming The Coronet was almost 100
